Frequent questions
-
How does the consultation or coaching work?
At SEELEDU we provide client centered, positive, solutions focused services. We use evidenced based practices based in multiple modalities. We will help you define:
​
1. Awareness & Clarity. Through SEELEDU, you are able to name and define a real issue by focusing on one piece at a time and separating fact from feelings.
2. Choice. Fearlessly, and without boundaries, SEELEDU helps you explore possibilities for change. Here, we create new ways of thinking and behaving.
3. Action. We can commit to an energizing plan or practice to rewire our way of thinking and enforcing behaviors that support your desired way of being.
The key of all relationships is the connection. Having the right helper in your corner allows you to see another perspective, consider questions you would never normally consider, and be challenged in a powerful way. SEELEDU ensures that growth comes from feeling safe (not just comfortable). We demonstrate openness, honesty, and transparency. We are here for you, investing in our relationship, creating a supportive, constructive and stable environment.
